The Institute for Brewing Studies recently awarded the first
scholarship grant from its Small Brewers' Scholarship Fund. The
grant, in the amount of $3,650, will enable Peter Leavitt, formerly of
Berkeley, CA's Triple Rock Brewing Co. and Twenty Tank Brewery in
San Francisco, to attend the Brewing Technology Course at the Siebel
Institute of Technology in Chicago. The course runs from September 3
through November 8.

A special selection committee of three members of the Institute for
Brewing Studies' Board of Advisers, David Geary, D.L. Geary Brewing
Co.; David Heidrich, Oldenberg Brewery; and Bert Grant, Yakima Brewing
and Malting Co., evaluated and the applications of nine individuals
seeking to further their brewing education and enhance their
capabilities for brewing at a small brewery.

Leavitt was selected on the basis of his prior experience in the
industry, coursework related to his work in brewing, brewing industry
affiliations and future goals in the industry.
